Tamica Stubbs-Biotechnology Teaching Fellow
Teacher, E.E. Waddell High School, Charlotte. Tamica designed the CSC Biotechnology/Syngenta Field Study, and teaches it on occasion at the CSC. Tamica has an extensive resume in after-school and summer research activities, enabling her to lead her students, a primarily disadvantaged population, to very strong performance in science. Of particular note this year are her latest awards from the national Biotechnology Institute as a Biotechnology Teacher, and the Intel Society for Science and the Public program, where Tamica was named one of 10 teachers in the United States selected to participate in the SSP Fellows Program.
